The Tweets of the Week in the London Borough of Barnet - 15th January 2023

 My week? One of disappointments especially with regards to football. Manchester City were abysmal against Southampton, the Hadly FC's game was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. I also learned during the Manchester Derby that I no longer understand the offside rule. We had a decent recording session with The False Dots, we've got a spiffing new song called "The sexy sci fi sirens of the seventies", which is a bit of a mash up of Glam Rock and the Cramps, with a bit of an R Dean Taylor vibe going on. Last night I had my first beer and curry of the year, just a couple. It was very pleasant. 

That's enough of me. How was your week? This is what the Tweeters of the Borough have been up. 

1. Lets start in Burnt Oak, with a word of thanks to a much loved retiring local PC

Popped in before her last shift in Burnt Oak to say a big thank you to Amanda for her dedication and partnership in the ward. PCSOs are such a vital part of working with and for local communities. pic.twitter.com/qiVI1scwvs

10. Did you know about the much missed Jeff Beck RIP's links to Mill Hill

Jeff Beck RIP. Was reminded of when he performed Nadia with Swati Natekar, a regular at our studios. A perfect illustration of how versatile Jeff was and how he would always push the limits https://t.co/w4fyfGAyb5
